The facts occurred Sunday in Audincourt, in the Doubs.
"We realized that there had been a blackout, and that our generator, which can take over in the event of a breakdown, was also down, which triggered an alarm," explains Martial Bourquin, the mayor of Audincourt.
“Our services went to the scene, there were four circuit breakers off and the main power circuit breaker was also off.
There is no doubt about it, the vaccination center was targeted, ”he added, referring to“ unacceptable and unspeakable acts ”.
Dose analyzes
The power cut lasted "between an hour and an hour and a half" while the center stored "about 3,500 doses" of Pfizer vaccine in refrigerators.
These doses were "put aside to be analyzed by the central pharmacy of the hospital, which will tell us if they have been affected," said the mayor.
Fingerprint and DNA records as well as video surveillance extracts must also be used.
And so that this does not happen again, explains the elected official, "all the electrical installation that was outside will now be inside, it will no longer be possible to hack the installation".
Vaccination resumed normally this Monday "with other doses" assures the mayor.
